DONATE

Support the Museum with a Donation

Spectacular exhibits, like our famous "Terror of the South" dinosaur exhibit, need your support — and so do the extraordinary research labs, live animals, educational
programs, and collections that make your Museum one-of-a-kind.

You can make a Difference!

Help Friends of the Museum in its effort to support the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. Your charitable contribution supports groundbreaking research, exceptional exhibits, mind-opening programs and educational events which have inspired nearly three million visitors since the opening of the Nature Research Center.

Passionate about supporting the Museum’s mission even after your lifetime? It's not only possible, it's easy to do with a planned gift. Creating a bequest or charitable gift annuity, or giving appreciated stock, may offer better tax savings for you than an outright gift of cash. In addition, some planned gifts can give you guaranteed income for life.
